Colorful textiles of this type are attributed to the Zoroastrian people of Persia, and were thought to have been used in women’s clothing.

The colorful (and happy) palettes of these textiles have made them a favorite of the discerning collectors of material from this part of Asia.

The colors are all derived from natural dyes, and are brilliantly applied to the wool and silk materials. The condition is ok, there is some minor staining but the piece also has never been cleaned and may very well respond favorably.
